    Use Quick Heal antivirus

    There are many tips to avoid Win32.Zbot.gex from entering the system. But, if the infection enters into the system, use Quick Heal antivirus.

So, the infections are not able to execute at this time because of which they remain inactive. So, this the best security component that you can trust on if any infection enters into the system.
